Connect to the Call Server remotely
If the PCS 410/400/100 is to be installed at a remote location, eg via a VPN connection, the phone should

Telnet will display that the changes have been saved.

If the Call Server is to collect BLF data from this remote phone enter
–
blf
after the IP address of the call
server, eg
–
gk 192.168.0.1
–
blf. The Call Server will then multicast this BLF information to all PCSs on the
system.
If there are more than one remote IP Phone connected to the system one of these phones can be
configured to collect the BLF data from all the remote phones and send this to the system. This can be
achieved by entering
–
relay
after the IP address, eg
–
gk 192.168.0.1
–
relay. The other phones would
then just be configured with the IP address of the call server, eg
–
gk 192.168.0.1.
It is recommended that no more than 5-6 remote IP phones should be configured to use this facility in
order to keep the overhead on the Call Server to a minimum.
To remove this entry repeat steps 1 and 2 above. Delete the entry within Startup arguments and press
Enter. Continue with steps 4, 5 and 6 above.
